Ruminants are unique
- Ability to digest fibrous feedstuffs otherwise indigestible.
- But produce methane --a potential greenhouse gas
- As an unavoidable waste product of enteric fermentation,- Global warming.
Enteric fermentation digestive process -CHO are broken
down by MO simple molecules for absorption into the bloodstream.

Globally, ruminants produce 80 MMT of methane annually.(NRC, 2002)
India has largest livestock population in the world & estimated toemit about 10.8 MMT of CH4 annually or 405.75 x 10
8 Kcal/dayfrom enteric fermentation.
(Singh and Sikka, 2007)
Dairy animals are most popular livestock enterprises in the countryand account for nearly 60% of these enteric emissions.
(Singhal et al., 2005)
From agricultural sector, ruminants contribute major 49 %methane in India. (NATCOM, 2004)
In ruminants, 87% CH4 is produced in the rumen & remaining13% from hindgut fermentation.

Why Inhibit Methane?
I. Loss of feed energy:
1 L of CH4 = 39.5 kJ of feed energy. Methane emission: 8 % GEI loss.
- varies with diet from 2% (cattle in feedlots) to
15% (animals eating very poor quality forage).(Johnson and Johnson, 1995)
Disadvantage for both cows and producers as this energy could bechanneled for production purposes.
II. Green House Effect & Global Warming:
Methane contributes 15 - 20% of total GHG. CH4 has 21 times more GWP than CO2. (IPCC, 1996)
-Weather change (By the year 2030 the world is likely to be12 C warmer than today).
- Increase in sea level (17 - 26 cm rise in global mean sea level).(Khan et al., 2001)
- Health hazards. (Moss, 1993)10

Many practices to reduce GHG emissions increase production
efficiency and profitability of agricultural operations.
Producers verifiable, quantifiable GHG emission or carbonsequestration able to receive revenue from Carbon Trading
markets in the future.
So,The inhibition of CH4 production in the rumen would havesignificant economic and environmental benefits.

e) Methanol,f) Methylamines,
g) Dimethyl sulfide,
h) Some alcohols.
Methanogensis
}Prime precursor Need methanogens:
Methanomicrobium
Methanobacterium
Methanosarcina
37% rumen methanogenesis is due to methanogens living in
or on the rumen protozoa.
Methanogens use the process of formation of CH4 to generateenergy for growth.

Inhibition of NADH reoxidation & ruminal Fermentn
Reduced digestion of fiber and microbial growth.
Importance of Methahonogenesis
Elimination of methanogens without alternative route ofelectron transfer affect the enteric fermentation.

2. Reducing Livestock Population & Longevity
Desirable economically also, considering the feed and
fodder shortage in our country.
May not be practically feasible strategy until: Shift in the rural areas from subsistence to
commercial dairy farming

3. Management Practices:
Pasture management:
forage species selection inclusion of legumes. (McCaughey et al., 1999)
continuous vs. rotational grazing strategies.
Management-intensive grazing:
- BMP- more efficient utilization of grazed forage crops via controlled
rotational grazing
- efficient conversion of forage into meat and milk.(DeRamus et al., 2003)
Animal selection for increased production
Use of growth promoting agents
Application of more refined ration balancing technologies.

4. Effect of Residual Feed Intake
Low RFI group have lower MPR and reduced methane cost ofgrowth (24% of total CH4/d & 25% of CH4/kg ADG).
(Hegarty et al., 2007)
MOA:
Differences in metabolizability Genetic link between methanogens and their hosts.
(Hackstein et al., 1996)
Useful for the efficient planning of breeding strategies toselect animals that eat considerably less to achieve a similar
growth rate and body wt.

B. Effect of Concentrate Type
Variable to: Structural (cellulose, hemicellulose)
Non-structural (starch, sugars) carbohydrates.(Ovenell-Roy et al., 1998)
CH4 emision:
For every g of cellulose digested = 3 hemicellulose = 5 solubleresidue. (Moe and Tyrrell, 1979)
Soluble sugars > potential than starch.(Johnson & Johnson, 1995)
Cattle in finishing phase fed with
barley - 2.8 %
corn based diets - 4.0% of GEI CH4 losses accounted.(Beauchemin & McGinn, 2005)
Feeding more concentrates per cow, with a higher amount of (rumen
resistant) starch and less sugars has a very positive effect.

6. Effect of Forage Quality
Digestibility of cell walls in forages lower CH4 emission.(Johnson and Johnson, 1995)
Forage maturity and physical form influence CH4
production:
Higher for:
mature forage vs. immature forage,
coarse chopped vs. finely ground or pelleted low quality
forage, hay vs. silage.

7. Effect of Forage Type Forage legumes:(lucerne or red clover)
less CH4 emisssion (g/kg DMI) than grass.(Ramirez and Barry, 2005)
Due to: - lower proportion of SC and faster passage rate.
- Presence of tannin, saponin.
(McCaughey et al., 1999)
Fresh grass < Grass silage(CH4 emission)
Maize silage and Whole Cereal Plant silage (WPS):
High starch, less CH4 emission. (Tamminga et al., 2007)
Replacing half of the 60% of grass silage with maize silage in mid-lactation dairy cattle reduced CH4 production from 6.0 to 5.8% of GEI.

73% respectively. (Machmullar and Kreuzer, 1997)
Addition of mustard oil (68 mg) in WS + Conc. based diet reduced 18% ofmethane production in vitro.
(Tyagi and Singhal, 1998)
Fish oil at 7.5% reduces 80% methane production.
(Fievez et al., 2003) Disadvantage:
Decreases DMI and Fiber digestion (at 5% inclusion level).

12. Use of Ionophores
Monensin, Rumensin, Lasalosid, Salinomysin:
- shift the H2 producing gram +ve gram ve
- shift in fermentation from acetate to propionate
- Reduction in voluntary feed intake causing fermentation.(Goodrich et al., 1984)- Selectively acetate (and therefore H2) production.
(Slyter, 1979)
- Inhibiting the release of H2 from formate.(Van Nevel and Demeyer 1977)
Rumen microbes adapt to monensin on continuous feeding.(Johnson & Johnson, 1995; 2002)

Plant extracts
Terpenoids and Phenolic compounds,(e.g monoterpenes,limonene, thymol, carvacrol) have antimicrobial activity.
EuO and black seed extract could be a promising methane
mitigating agent in vitro.

64/78
15.Stimulation of Acetogens:
Produce acetic acid by the reduction of CO2 with H2.
As daily feed additive CH4 prod. in vitro.(Lopez et al., 1999)
Do not compete in rumen with methanogens.(10 to 100 times higher affinity for H2)
(Joblin, 1999)
Genetically modified acetogens can compete more effectivelyin the rumen.

17 Defaunation:
-
7/27/2019 Methane Mitigation Strategies From Livestock by Sk Asraf Hossain
66/78
17. Defaunation: Removal of protozoa from rumen.
Reduces CH4 production by 20 - 50 % & Improves the feed utilizationefficiency. (Pal et al., 1994)
Defaunating agents:
Plant secondary metabolites (Saponin)- without inhibiting bacterial
activity. (Kamra, 2005; Thalib et al, 1995)
Fat(USFA)
(Mudgal et al., 2003)
USFA inhibit methanogenesis even in the absence of rumen protozoa.
Toxicity of long chain FA to methanogen.

18. Probiotics
Aspergillus oryzae(AO) - 50% CH4 prod. directlyreducing protozoal population (45%).(Frumholtz et al., 1989)
Saccharomyces cerevisiae(SC) -
CH4 by 10% (in vitro).(Mutsvangwa et al., 1992)
Mode of action of probiotics:
Reduce H2 availability to methanogens.
Increased butyrate or propionate (Martin et al., 1989)
Reduced protozoal numbers (Newbold et al., 1998)
Promotion of acetogenesis as a sink for hydrogen.
(Chaucheyras et al., 1995)

19. Immunisation
Immunise ruminants against their own methanogens.
(Baker,1995)
Developed vaccine containing Ag derived from rumenmethanogenic microorganisms.
(Baker, 1998)
Vaccine: cost-effective and long-acting to reduce CH4 emissionand enhance animal production under grazing.
Natural development of Ab by lambs against mixed methanogens.(Holloway and Baker, 2000)
In small ruminants (sheep) reduces CH4 emission by 7%.(Baker,1995)
Development of a vaccination strategy is in progress.

20. Bacteriocins
Antibiotics- protein or peptide in nature, produced by bacteria.
Many lactic-acid bacteria produce bacteriocins- effect onmethanogens rather than a direct pH effect.
(Russell, 1998)
Some strains ofButyrivibrioproduced inhibitory activity.(Kalmakoffet al., 1996)
Lactococcus lactis (Nisin) - stimulate propionate production& 36% CH

Conclusions
1. Many recommended on-farm practices will reduce
enteric CH4 and total GHG emissions by reducing feed costsassociated with animal maintenance:
Increasing productivity per cow to reduce methane emissions
per kg of milk.
When total output levels (e.g. total milk or beef produced)
remain constant and livestock numbers are reduced.
A lower culling age
Best management practices and pasture management.
Selection of Low RFI animals that achieve similar growth rate
and body weight.
2. By dietary manipulation through:
-
7/27/2019 Methane Mitigation Strategies From Livestock by Sk Asraf Hossain
76/78
Increasing proportion of concentrate rich in starch,
High quality leguminous forage,
Grinding and pelleting of forages, Inclusion fats and oils,
TMR and UMMB,
Organic acids (fumarate, malate)
Tannin and saponin rich plants, Ionophores, like monensin, lasalocid, silnomycin
Direct inhibition of methanogensis by using halogenated
methane analogues (BES, AQ) is not found suitable.
3. Through Indirect ways of altering rumen ecology :- Immunisation,
- Elimination of ciliate protozoa,
- Enhanced bacteriocin production,
- Enhanced acetogenesis
- Probiotics or Yeast cultures

5. Indian senario:
Under Indian field conditions 25% CH4 reduction can be achieved.
Due to poor genetic potential and low lactation yield, the net cost
of CH4 reduction is very high in local cows. The gross cost will range from Rs. 39.2 -100.8/kg CH4.
CH4 mitigation in local cows and buffaloes through increasingconcentrates in the diet is a more expensive option.
Use of monensin premix is encouraging and the most costeffective technology.
Strategic supplementation (energy, nitrogen and minerals) usingUMP is the second less expensive and feasible abatement option.
4. Biotechnology can play an important role by manipulating therumen bugs to enhance the digestibility of poor quality feed stuffand lower or halt the production of methane.
